LEMONY CARROT AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Lemony Carrot and Cauliflower Soup image

The beauty of a soup like this - other than its bone-warming properties - is that you don't need a recipe. You can pretty much simmer together any combination of vegetables with a little water or broth, purée it, top it with good olive oil and salt, and end up with something good to eat. The addition of miso paste and crushed coriander to the broth, and fresh lemon and cilantro at the end, zips things up without negating the comfort factor.

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 3h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
5 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
3/4 cup plain yogurt, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 green onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, cauliflower, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, cumin, stock, and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the carrots are very tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Let the soup cool slightly, and then blend until smooth, working in batches. Pour the soup into a large bowl and whisk in 1/2 cup of the yogurt. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours up to 24 hours. Serve the soup in individual bowls with dollops of remaining yogurt, and some chopped green onion.
  • When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

ROASTED CARROT AND CAULIFLOWER CURRIED SOUP



Roasted Carrot and Cauliflower Curried Soup image

This restaurant-quality soup is hearty and very tasty! I didn't have onions at home when I made this. Although the soup turned out really flavorful without them, I will probably add an onion or two next time I make it. Garnish with basil, wonton noodles, and sour cream.
